The most prestigious institute in the world. Rating of the most prestigious universities in the world

Last call, final exams, receiving a matriculation certificate - the most exciting moments are left behind. Now before former schoolchildren Innumerable paths to a bright future are opening up, but first we have to accept one of major decisions: where exactly to go to study next.

The best universities in Russia warmly open their doors to a new generation of doctors and scientists, programmers and engineers, economists and lawyers. But wait a minute, by what criteria can these best universities in Russia be determined? Who chose them and what did they base their choice on?

The answer is quite simple: the most objective rankings of universities are compiled by time itself. In the constant top of the highest educational institutions includes only those universities, academies and institutes that have coped with the harsh tests of reforms and changes with honor educational standards, a race of potentials.

The most prestigious

Two Moscow universities have been fighting for the right to bear the proud title of the best university in Russia for many years:

• Moscow State Technical University them. N.E. Bauman
• Moscow State University named after. M.V. Lomonosov

We are just announcing the best of the best, without giving them a final verdict and without comparing them in terms of prestige or quality with each other.

Technical University named after Bauman is important to us not so much for its history (although it’s good to remember that it is this university that holds the palm in terms of the time of its founding), but rather the latest achievements. This is both an institution of global importance, providing extensive training in a variety of specialties, and the largest science Center, head of the Association of Technical Universities. And holders of this diploma are in great demand among employers.

However, the latter is typical for all well-known universities, and especially for the University named after. M. V. Lomonosov, a leading domestic university. I don’t even want to talk much about it, because it is the most famous Russian university (including abroad). Smart and talented people annually join the ranks of its students. In terms of the quality of training, he was awarded the highest rating.

The largest university in Russia is St. Petersburg State University, scattered throughout the city and having an incalculable number of student associations.

In addition to these (undoubtedly best) universities, the best establishments At various times, Russia was considered MGIMO, MIPT, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, HSE and others.

This is explained by the fact that it is based only on academic opinion, and not on objective indicators of the university’s performance.

Almost every secondary school graduate strives to enter a university. And, of course, the more prestigious the university, the more prestigious the diploma will be, and, possibly, the job. It’s not difficult to guess that Moscow universities are the most popular among yesterday’s schoolchildren, studying in which allows you not only to get a good education European standard, but also get a prestigious job in the capital of Russia.

Having a higher education diploma has always been prestigious. Moreover, during the Soviet Union, this was a guarantee that after completing training, a specialist would be able to get a good, “dust-free” job. And to have two or three higher educations meant to earn great respect from relatives and friends.

Today, a diploma of higher education does not guarantee successful employment, but, nevertheless, almost every graduate of a secondary school strives to enter a university. And, of course, the more prestigious the university, the more prestigious the diploma will be, and, possibly, the job. It’s not difficult to guess that the most popular among yesterday’s schoolchildren are schools where studying allows them not only to get a good education of the European standard, but also to get a prestigious job in the capital of Russia.

9. - A university that has been considered one of the most elite in recent years. However, this year he has slightly lost his position in the ranking.

10. - closes the TOP 10 most prestigious universities in Moscow. You can enter it without any perfect marks on the Unified State Exam (passing score is approximately 85.2).
